not sure if you guys are trying to clown, but here's some solid jams:
"tonight's the night" remix with redman (1996):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wgYsQwXr58
"alright" with supa cat (1993):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0z9N7DpdSc
"live and die for hiphop" featuring aaliyah (1996):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZ57ETBzXo8
and those were just the singles. i'm not in here claiming these are lost classics or anything, but in my opinion they certainly improved with age. maybe i'm an idiot (don't acknowledge that pls) but i feel like they could have made a successful and meaningful comeback.
rest in peace chris kelly.☮

I think this may have been not just the firt rap record I owned, but the first record full stop that wasn't, like, the soundtrack to a Disney movie.
My parents did not have records, my dad had loads of dated but high end hi fi equipment but their music collection consisted of a single Om Kalthoum cassette and a box of reel to reels of radio broadcasts he'd taped as a youth in Baghdad, or maybe Tehran.
My mom liked Bruce Springsteen, "Karma Chameleon" and the Police, but did my dad only tolerated western pop music at best. He had to listen to that damn Kriss Kross album constantly for months, poor guy.

I think we might have had "the best of roy orbison" too, or that could have been a later addition.

I just imagine his feeling of relief each time he briefly switched off the Kriss Kriss tape to listen to the traffic report on 1010 wins every 20 minutes

did not have the album, but know the songs "Jump," "I Missed the Bus," and "Rugrats Rap" by Kriss Kross

I remember they wore their clothes backwards, I remember they had a big hit called "Jump", but I can't for the life of me remember how it goes.

second album was kinda fire iirc
ABC was ok, too. Ain't a thing wrong with this chorus, even if the rest of the track sounds like outsider art

I'd forgotten Michael Bivins does the same type of spoken bit on this as he did on "Poison." Real-time promo-and-bio in the middle of the damn single is an underrated flex
Know what doesn't hold up? Da Youngsta's

I'm kinda between options 2 and 3 in which I am well acquainted with "Jump" and "Warm It Up", and am aware of the existence of the video for "I Missed The Bus", but could not recall any bit of the song from memory.I am unfamiliar with the rest of their discography.

I know the singles, and I had the cassette for sure, but I don't remember anything else about it (will have to see if it pries loose any memories though)
